What the Metropolis Offers In the Way
of Cooling Drinks-Soda Water and
Kindred Innocence - Mineral Waters.
Syrups and Nerve Foods.
What does this big town offer in the way
of cooling drinksl Well, start from the low
est round of the ladder in liquid refreshments
and you have-water There are several
fountains in the city which run a crystal
thread of Croton But this is an elemental
drink that Is chiefly pationized by the nurse
maids, babies and yonng M0docs Ice water
at a meal is a common American drink. At
some Of the restaurants they freeze the water
i'll the carafe. The next step is-water But
the first was that. Yes, but this is pure wa
ter, and the infusoria and microscopic vege-
table matter is left out. All sorts of patent
and proprietary spring waters are on tap at
the thousands of fountains around town.
People who do not care to take their water
straight can have it seasoned with soda, lime
juice, calisaya, ginger ale and ginger wines
and vichy.
The next stage is mineral waters. There is
an immense list of these, some astringents,
some tonics. As rule they are manufact-
nred. The water of celebrated springs like
Nichy, h kissingen, Hathorn at Saratoga and
others have been analyzed, and the chemical
proportions ascertaine1, Then pharmaceu-
tif'al art does what nature does for the water.
Hudnnts, the most famous place i'll the world
FOR sofa water and kindred innocence, has a
long list of these waters, most OF which are
effervescent. Hudnut grades the weather by
a thermometer, which is quoted universally
by the local press and lie tones the weather
stricken down by myriad drinks, Here are
some of the mineral vatarS-

honored him, and to whom and
whose interests he has devoted the
best energies Of his life. The vital
principle involved in the constitution
al amendment to be voted upon in
September is, not whether a man shall
or shall not eat, drink or wear certain
articles, but is the one most closely
allied with the moral, social and
physical well-being of the family, the
church and the State. 1t is whether
the State will continue to authorize
and permit that which continually,
by day and by night, tears down and
destroys; that makes a hell of the
home, and the public places centers
Of riot and confusion; that increases
pauperism, that ruins men, women
and children; that fills the jails and
the penitentiary; that peoples the
lunatic asylums and makes imbeciles
of otherwise strong-minded men; that
makes possible human deformity and
increases human depravity. In a
word;oit is the principal of protection
of the people against demon that
has cursed the race from the moment
the first drop of alcohol was distilled
an insidious enemy of man lurking
on every hand to fasteh upon and
throttle him, and in whose presence
no one is safe at any point between
the cradle and the grave.
No, Senator Harris as an individu-
al may not approve of prohibition in
its abstract sense, but we do not be-
lieve that he will 90 upon the hust-
ings and seek to have his people do
themselves a wrong by urging them
to vote against the prohibition amend
ment. We should regret very deep
ly to know that the statement was
authoritative; we do not believe it is,
but rather, that it emanated from
some of those who are without Sena-
tor Harris ability and yet hate him
for his intellectual greatness.
